the "root" folder is the base folder where you game resides....
(now please don't look for a folder named "base"....)

there already are folders named DGen and PaintSchemes. The files from this pack go in there.... I presume the logic unfolds itself?

And are you sure you installed the BAT DGen pack correctly?

[Barkhorn1x]

I'm sure I installed it wrong. My DGen Log repeats "Wrong command lineWrong command line."
What I did was as follows:
1. Downloaded and extracted via 7zip in a new folder.
2. I had a folder named, as above in Subject line.
3.The contents of that folder were two folders entitled "Dgen" and "Paint Schemes."
4.The installation instructions read, "Just copy over to your root Il 2 1946 directory-the folders already set up."
5. So pasted the USN.... folder into the root folder, but was unable to find the folder. I then transferred the USN.... folder to the Campaigns/UN folder-no luck.
6.At that point, I opened the USN...folder and saw the two sub-folders, and installed them in the BAT game folder and removed the folder from the UN folder in Campaigns.
7. I updated the BAT Dgen folder and installed it in the game folder.
Now, I can see the USN... in  the UN Campaigns folder in the UN Pilot Career game page. I can start the first step in in the New Career page, but when I try to generate the campaign, I get the whit. page BAT page.

Sorry to be so long winded, but I can't figure what I've done wrong.

OK, if I'm reading step 5 correctly you ended up w/ a "USN" folder that contains the "DGEN" & "Paint Schemes" sub folders, that you copied over to the IL-2 1946 root directory, correct?

So that is not the way to do it.
First of all delete everything you've copied over to date.
Then copy over the "DGEN" & "Paint Schemes" folders directly to the Il-2 1946 root directory.
You will get the normal overwrite existing folders messages for the "Paint Schemes" folder and BOTH the existing folders message AND the existing files overwrite messages for the "DGEN" folder - so overwrite them.
And then you should be OK.

My thanks for both of your responses.
I've never had any great problems with Bat since I installed it. I've never had many problems installing campaigns. I've followed your solution with no luck.  I still get the blank BAT Planning page. When I check Windows Task Master, both IL 2 and USN... show they're running, I've waited as much as a half hour hoping it just slow. It looks like an interesting campaign and I'd not like to give up, but it is discouraging.
The DGen.log still shows WrongCommandlineWrongCommandline." That must mean something is in the wrong place.

I have to say I'm having the same issue. I tried deleting the DGen log and all the others, disabled all JSGME and still no luck. No logs at all are generated with this attempt.

[Vampire_pilot]

seriously guys, this could not be any simpler.

forget the whole JSGME stuff for a moment.

we are talking about replacing one (1) folder in the root directory: DGEN and the DGEN.exe, when installing the WAW-BAT Dgen pack
Did you get this right in the first place?

Then we talk about replacing a handfull of files inside that very same DGEN folder and adding a few skins for this USN update here. That is all there is to it.
The whole JSGME is just a fancy way to do just that.

[Timex62]

The original carrier air group fighter campaign and all the other DGen campaigns I have going, one for each nationality, are all working fine. Is there anything else I may provide that would be of help?

[Vampire_pilot]

I literally have no idea without having seen your install.

Can you post a screenshot of the contents of your BAT03B folder?

Also, try to start the campaign not at the first segment but other segments. Try different planes. Is it the same every time or just in certain combinations?

[Timex62]

That's just it, once you select the campaign from the list you get the mission planning background and nothing else. There are no options to select. As for a snapshot of my BAT03B folder, I have no idea how to do that. What it contains is WAW3DO01 to WAW3DO20, WAWCOD01 and WAWSOUND01 SFS files. Sorry I can't be more helpful, as you can guess I'm not very computer literate.

[Vampire_pilot]

well, that folder is in proper order then at least.

@Barkhorn, I can reproduce this!

I have rebuilt my DGEN from scratch and tried, I get the exact same thing now.
I recall testing your campaign positive once but now I get this as well!  Please check yourself by using vanilla BAT WAW Dgen and the current patch, then add your campaign files.

You should get the same result.

OK, going to take some time but I will test and get back to you.

Let me chime in with my  BAT03B contents: WAWDO01.SFS-WAW3DO20.SFS, WAWCOD01.SFS, WAWSOUND01.SFS.
I too, don't have the skills to transfer my BAT03B folder from the game to this reply.
The DGen have used is located in my Game folder " IL2Sturmovik 4.12-BAT/DGen."
Thanks for your help.

... open it in Windows explorer, take a screenshot and upload the picture.
